This makes sense, as Deauville is situated the closest to Âé¶¹APP than any other Normandy beach. Hop on a train from the city, and find yourself by the seaside in just a little over an hour!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Deauville is definitely considered to be a resort town, and it is often called the French Riviera of the north. It is filled with high-end <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/shopping-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shopping<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-paris-authentic-french-food-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">restaurants<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-paris-cafes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caf\u00e9s<\/a> which are perfect for relaxing away for a long weekend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">When you get tired of lounging by the water, pack up your things and check out <i>Les Planches<\/i>, a boardwalk that makes you feel like you\u2019ve stepped into the past. A fun fact about the construction of the boardwalk? It was created in the 1920s so that ladies could enjoy the beach, but not worry about getting their long dresses dirty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Deauville is also known worldwide for it\u2019s American Film Festival, which has taken place every year since 1975. Famed Spike Jonze film, <i>Being John Malkovich<\/i> won the Grand Prix in 1999!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4.

The beach is lined with beach cabanas and and a boardwalk lined with beautiful homes. Mr. Monet also loved this seaside town, so this is another location that art lovers will relish in seeing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">There is a swimming pool and tennis courts situated just next door to the beach, perfect for shaking off the sand from your feet and getting some exercise in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Trouville is known as being less posh than Deauville, and a little bit more laid back, so if you\u2019re truly looking for a break, Trouville is the place for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>5.

The town paid its respects to the author by naming a boardwalk after him, the <i>Promenade Marcel Proust<\/i>, which spans in front of the Grand-H\u00f4tel where Proust stayed. The Grand-H\u00f4tel also inspired the fictional hotel of the same name also featured in his seven volume novel.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13735\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/grand_hotel_-_cabourg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13735\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13735\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/grand_hotel_-_cabourg.jpg\" alt=\"Grand H\u00f4tel - Cabourg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/grand_hotel_-_cabourg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/grand_hotel_-_cabourg-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13735\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grand H\u00f4tel &#8211; Cabourg by Alainauzas &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Other than the perfect place for taking a walk in Proust\u2019s footsteps, Cabourg features quiet and sandy beaches waiting for you to sunbath on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re there in late July and you\u2019re a music lover, there is also the Cabourg, Mon Amour indie and electronic music <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/20-summer-festivals-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">festival<\/a>.
